Here's a one-of-a-kind reading experience for the guys that have refused to grow up! Dan O'Brien has teamed up with illustrator Steve Ferchaud to blend hard boiled, dark, detective stories with pulp comics.

Sounds perfect for those cold approaching winter nights, eh, fellas?

Mobsters,
Monsters and Nazis follows private investigator Derrick Diamond as
he searches for a device that the Nazis need
for their nefarious experiments. He's aided by Ava Harpy, a lounge singer at
the Yellow Monarch, and as they dive deep into the underbelly of the city,
they uncover a sordid plot that is much larger than they could have
possibly imagined.

What Dan is
revealing today are the sketches for some of the interior illustrations (which
will be black and white) of the first issueof Mobsters,
Monsters and Nazis. The books will be released as six issues
(eBooks) starting on Halloween.

Influenced by film noir, pulp comics, and
an abiding love of Lovecraft, it is now available forpre-order so what are you waiting for?

I never used to. I always thought our destiny was down to ourselves and the paths we choose. What I discovered is that our destiny is already pre-mapped. Let me explain... during the winter of 2013 I became Cinderella. A modern Cinderella.While I was tending the graves of my parents I noticed I was being watched by a middle-aged woman. She introduced herself as Ellen, and became a thorn in my side ever since. She claimed to be my fairy godmother.I claimed she was bossy, interfering, insufferable... I could go on, but I doubt you have time.My ugly sisters weren't real-life people unlike Ellen but my problems: Depression and Insomnia.Prince Charming was womanising Lex Kendal who refused to take no for an answer. And my glass slipper was Boots--a kitten.Events caused us all to meet, and our lives became entangled in a way none of us expected.
The story is told from Lex and my own point of view in varying chapters, because, I guess, we both went on a journey in those crazy first months of meeting. And you can read our full story in the novel: Oh no, I’ve Fallen in Love! Remember though, the nightmare that you have in your sleep is really reality trying to get your attention. So listen to your nightmares. Because you probably don't have a fairy godmother.
